I mean how does the filesystem react to that ?

I run apps off different drives not just one
I can shrink 2 dvds at once I can burn 2 + at once I can play games and run AV scan as long as it does not scan games hard drive etc Lack of hard drives does bottle neck the dual core

Think I'm gonna have to speak nicely to the financial controller in our household tonight.
Wonder if I could squeeze in a nice, silent case in at the same time.... anyone got any recommendations of which ones to go for, if I do get the thumbs-up on this?

It is a good upgrade path route as later if you need to just buy a higher speced board
